to see good retail in the united states. i see good housing in the united states. how many times did phil lebeau come on and say every single auto maker 14.5 million autos? i mean that's booming. union pacific, things are great. so you just get a picture that says, wait. need to go back to the u.s. again. >> three months of contracting isms. that's a problem. deutsche bank is out this morning saying if you correlate ism to the s&p you would either need a 10% correction in the market or ism back to 54 to justify the current level. >> well, if it's either/or -- the former certainly makes more sense. >> we keep it going. we're reflecting china and europe in the lack of growth in our economy or are they really going to bring us down? >> they reflected china in the chinese stock market which is really hideous. you want to see a real bear market, by the way, versus these european markets. we can say all the negative things you want but you made more money in germany this year so far than in the united states. something isn't it? >
